Lesley’s All Road

Posted on Dec 17, 2018 in Completed Bikes

The perfect bike for the daily commute, road rides, exploring the gravel roads and trails of northern Wisconsin, and multi day tours.

 

The build:

Designed around the Compass Cycles Rat Trap Pass 26″ x 2.3″ tires,

a go anywhere bike.

Campagnolo 11 speed drivetrain:  These shifters/brake levers are great for smaller hands

The new Compass ramped and pinned 11 speed chainrings:  One of the best shifting setups I’ve tried.

Integrated dyno hub lighting system with a Son SL hub and Edulux II light

Rene Herse cantilever brakes

A custom Jonny Cycles front rack supporting a custom RuthWorks SF bag

 

The style:

Graphics and paint design by Jonny Cycles/Sanchez Paintshop

Colors by Lesley

Paint work by Black Magic Paint

 

The weight:

Inspired in part by the revival of the Technical Trials in France and my own curiosity I put a lot of thought  into both function and weight.  This one came in a 21.6 pounds complete (bag included).  Not bad for a bike with a Brooks saddle, fenders, lights, platform pedals, and those ba-donk-a-donk tires.
